Sno-Cone Cupcakes Recipe

Who said you need to have ice in order to make sno-cones? The truth is, you can make your own tasty “sno-cones” perfect for parties and gatherings, and this version won’t melt! Look below at how to make these adorable and tasty Sno-Cone Cupcakes, perfect for beach themed parties or any time of year you need a taste of summer.

To get started with this sweet treat, prepare cupcakes and gather white frosting, sanding sugars, white cups, and plastic spoons.

To get started, use the styrofoam cups. First, cut off a little more than half of the top of each cup. The bottoms will be used to hold the cupcakes so make sure the cupcakes fit inside with the cake tops being about even with the cup tops. Don’t put the cupcakes into the cups yet.

Frost each cupcake with a thick layer of frosting and smooth it into a dome shape.

Start with the blue sugar and sprinkle a thick coat on the left third of the frosting so it looks like a blue stripe. Use the yellow sugar next and sprinkle a thick coat on the middle of the cupcake to look like a yellow stripe. Use the red sugar last to sprinkle on a thick coat for a red stripe on the right third of the cupcake. It should resemble a sno-cone.
